Faulk recorded one assist and six hits over 26:10 of ice time and 4:36 of power-play ice time in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals. Faulk earned his third point in as many games, giving him 13 points (four goals, nine assists) over his last 20 contests. The Minnesota native earned a secondary assist by dumping the puck into the offensive zone, where Lucas Wallmark was able to find an open Andrei Svechnikov for the score. Faulk now has 35 points (11 goals, 24 assists) over 82 games in his 2018-19 campaign.

Faulk recorded his 31st point of the season with an assist in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Wild. With 11 points in his last 16 games, Faulk has been absolutely instrumental in the Canes' drive to lock down a playoff spot in the last few weeks. Earlier in the season, Faulk was suffering through long stretches without a point -- his longest was a 12-game drought from mid-November to mid-December -- but since Feb. 16, he hasn't gone more than a single game without cracking the scoresheet. The 27-year-old defender now has an identical stat line to last season (eight goals, 23 assists) and will be looking to add to those numbers over the final eight games of the regular season.

Faulk notched a helper in a 3-0 win over the Avalanche on Monday. The assist gives Faulk his sixth straight year with 20 apples. He's at 28 points in 69 games this year. Faulk added four hits and three shots while taking a plus-2 rating in a well-rounded performance.

Faulk picked up a power-play assist and four shots on goal in a 5-3 win over the Predators on Saturday. Faulk has been rolling lately, with a goal and three assists over his last five games. The American blueliner has eight goals and 19 assists in 68 games this season, as well as 122 hits and 180 shots on goal. Faulk is likely to finish in the mid-30s for points this season, which is in line with what's come to be expected from him.
